How to create and share photo albums with Android’s Google Photos

One of the best Google apps available today is Google Photos. Not only does Google give you unlimited free storage for your photos and movies, it also gives you a whole host of features commonly found in apps that cost actual money.

One of the best features is the ability to create and share albums that your friends and family can add their own media to as well. It’s rather simple so don’t be intimidated. For many this feature is intuitive, but for others they made need a little instructions.

Create an album

Mobile app

Once created you can then share an album. If you no longer want to share that album, I have also included instructions on how to unshare it.

Share (or unshare) an album

Send other people a set of your photos by sending them a link.

Instructions

Open the album.

At the top right, tap or click More .

Select Sharing options.

Share the album: Next to “Share album,” turn the switch on. Use the link that was created to share the album. Note that anyone who has that link will be able to see the album.

Stop allowing people to see your album: Next to “Share album,” turn the switch off.
Once you turn this off, no one will be able to see your album. Any photos that were added by other people will be removed.

Create a collaborative album

Make an album that multiple people can add to by turning on “Collaborate.”
